Philadelphia Eagles Prove They’re Still NFL’s Team To Beat After Knocking Off Previously Unbeaten Tampa Bay Buccaneers
- The Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 31-25 on Sunday in Tampa to improve to a 4-0 record in the 2024 season.
- The Eagles played the game missing key wide receivers A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, along with right tackle Lane Johnson, while the Buccaneers were without their star wideout Mike Evans and two of their starting offensive linemen.
- Philadelphia built a sizable first-half lead with Jalen Hurts completing 15 of 16 passes before the offense stalled in the second half where Hurts went 0 for 8 passing.
- The Eagles gained a plus-2 advantage in turnovers as Tampa Bay gave up its first two turnovers of the season, highlighted by Sydney Brown’s 35-yard touchdown return of a blocked punt.
- Despite a late Buccaneers rally led by Baker Mayfield, the Eagles’ victory underscores their strong start though their second-half offensive collapse raises questions about consistency.
